GAMECHANGER NOTES PART 1

In my last few post series I've been highlighting Agile Periodisation which is essentially training the 4 co-actives each week simultaneously:

* How to Approach Pre-Xmas Training Part 1 and Part 2.

** Team Training Pre-Season 2019

*** Kicking Variability Training Drill

**** New Rules of Footy Training Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5

This new way of coaching has been used in Soccer and Rugby for a while now but a sports scientist Dr. Fergus Connolly put it all together in his book "GAME CHANGER" which WILL change the way you coach/train from now on.

This next series of posts (15 - 20!) are full of dot points I made from the book, deliberately posting them as I literally wrote them to initiate some discussion from you guys to share idea's on implementation as well as perception of each point.

Here we go!

- The only way to create space is to draw the defense towards each other

- When rating players, look at how their presence/actions amplify the team (positioning, stops, forward entries, enabling other players to play their game etc)

- Training tempo footy progression could be short to long duration, no pressure to pressure, 2 teams to 4 teams etc

- Don't do what's possible, do what's necessary

- Have 7 - 8 stationary players play keepings off 2 - 3 defenders who can move with the aim being to keep the defenders moving/opening space

- Progress the drill by allowing the offensive players to move

- Progress once more by using goal scoring simulation

- Every players first action should be to see their location and what's going on around them

- Use a similar set up with stall points around the ground than build multiple options off of it (plan A, B, C etc)

- There are game macro moments being offense, transition defense, defense and transition offense
